The multitude that stood by, and heard it, said that it was thunder: others said, An angel hath spoken to him.

NOW before the feast of the passover, Jesus, knowing that his hour was come, that he should go out of this world to the Father, having loved his peculiar people that are in the world, he loved them to the end.

Jesus knowing that the Father had given all things into his hands, and that he came out from God, and was going to God;

Then he poureth water into a bason, and began to wash the disciples' feet, and to wipe them with the towel with which he was begirt.

Then cometh he to Simon Peter: and he saith to him, Lord, dost thou wash my feet?

Peter saith to him, Thou shalt never wash my feet: no, never. Jesus answered him, Except I wash thee, thou hast no part with me.

Jesus saith to him, He that is washed hath need only to wash his feet, for he is entirely clean: and ye are clean, but not all.

If therefore I have washed your feet, though the Lord and the Master; ye also ought to wash one another's feet.

As Jesus was speaking these words, he was greatly agitated in spirit, and testified, and said, Verily, verily, I say unto you, that one of you shall betray me.

Now there was one of the disciples reclining on the bosom of Jesus, whom Jesus loved.

For some supposed, as Judas kept the purse, that Jesus was saying to him, Buy what we need for the feast; or, that he should give something to the poor.

Having then received the sop, he went out immediately: now it was night.

When therefore he was gone, Jesus saith, Now is the Son of man glorified, and God is glorified in him.

But these things have I spoken to you, that when the hour is come, ye may remember the same for I had told you. But these things I told you not at the beginning, because I was with you.

And now, Father, do thou glorify me with thyself in the glory which I held with thee before the world was.

When I was with them in the world, I preserved them by thy name: those whom thou hast given me have I guarded, and not one of them is perished, except the son of perdition; that the scripture might be fulfilled.

HAVING thus spoken, Jesus went out with his disciples beyond the brook Cedron, where was a garden, into which he went himself, and his disciples.

Then Simon Peter having a sword, drew it, and struck a servant of the high-priest, and cut off his right ear. Now the servant's name was Malchas.

and led him away to Annas first; for he was father-in-law to Caiaphas, who was the high-priest of that year.

Now Caiaphas was the person who had given his advice to the Jews, that it was expedient that one man should be destroyed instead of the people.

Now Simon Peter had followed Jesus, and another disciple: and that disciple was acquainted with the high-priest, and went in with Jesus into the palace of the high-priest.

But Peter stood without at the door. Then that other disciple, who was acquainted with the high-priest, went out, and spoke to the porteress, and introduced Peter.

Now the servants and inferior officers having made a fire, for it was cold, stood and warmed themselves: and there stood Peter with them, and warmed himself.

As he was thus speaking, one of the servants who stood by him gave Jesus a slap on the face, saying, Dost thou answer the high-priest in this fashion?

Meanwhile Simon Peter was standing and warming himself. Then said they to him, Art not thou also one of this man's disciples? He denied it, and said, I am not.

Then led they Jesus from Caiaphas to the praetorium: and it was early: and they themselves went not into the praetorium, that they should not be defiled; but that they might eat the passover.

Then said Pilate unto him. Art thou not a king then? Jesus answered, Thou sayest that I am a king. For this end I was born, and for this I came into the world, that I should be a witness for the truth. Every one who is of the truth heareth my voice.

Then again they all clamoured, saying, Not this man, but Barabbas. Now Barabbas was a robber.

When Pilate then heard this saying, he was the more afraid:

And it was the preparation of the passover, and about the sixth hour: and he saith to the Jews, Behold your King!

And Pilate also wrote a title, and put it on the cross. And this was the writing: JESUS THE NAZAREAN, THE KING OF THE JEWS,

This title then many of the Jews read: for the spot where Jesus was crucified was nigh unto the city: and it was written in Hebrew, in Greek, and in Latin.

Then the soldiers, when they had crucified Jesus, took his garments, and made four parts, for each soldier a part; and his vest: now the vest was without a seam, woven from the upper parts throughout the whole.

Now there was placed a vessel full of vinegar: they then filling a spunge with the vinegar, and putting it on a stick of hyssop, carried it to his mouth.

The Jews therefore, as it was the preparation, that the bodies might not remain on the cross on the sabbath, (for that sabbath-day was a great day,) besought Pilate that their legs might be broken, and that they might be taken away.

Then came the soldiers, and brake the legs of the first, and of the other who was crucified with him.

But when they came to Jesus, as they saw that he was already dead, they brake not his legs:

And there was near the spot were he was crucified a garden and in the garden a new tomb, wherein no person had ever yet been laid.

Because of the preparation of the Jews therefore, they laid Jesus there; for the sepulchre was just by.

And as she thus spoke, she turned about, and beheld Jesus standing by, and knew not that it was Jesus.

Then Jesus said to her, Woman, why art thou weeping? whom art thou seeking? She, supposing that it was the gardener, said to him, Sir, if thou hast carried him hence, tell me where thou hast laid him, and I will take him away.

When the evening therefore was come, on the same first day of the week, and the doors being fastened where the disciples were assembled for fear of the Jews, Jesus came and stood in the midst, and said unto them, Peace be to you.

Now Thomas, one of the twelve, who is called Didymus, the twin, was not with them when Jesus came.

Simon Peter, and Thomas called Didymus, the twin, and Nathaniel who was of Cana of Galilee, and the sons of Zebedee, and two others of the disciples were together.

But when the morning was now come, Jesus stood upon the beach: yet the disciples had not discovered that it was Jesus.

Then said that disciple whom Jesus loved to Peter, It is the Lord! Then Simon Peter, when he heard that it was the Lord, girt his coat round him, (for he was stripped,) and threw himself into the sea.

Simon Peter went aboard, and drew the net to land full of large fishes, to the number of a hundred and fifty-three: and though they were so many, yet was not the net rent.

Jesus saith to them, Come, dine. Now not one of the disciples dared inquire, Who art thou? conscious that it was the Lord.

Now this was the third time Jesus had shewed himself to the disciples, after he rose from the dead.

He saith to him the third time, Simon, son of Jonas, lovest thou me? Peter was grieved because he said unto him the third time, Lovest thou me? And he said to him, Lord, thou knowest all things, thou knowest that I love thee! Jesus saith to him, Feed my sheep.

Verily, verily, I say unto thee, When thou wast a younger man, thou didst gird up thyself, and go about whithersoever thy choice led thee: but when thou shalt grow old, another person extending thy hands, shall gird thee, and carry thee whither thou wouldest not.

Then this speech went forth among the disciples, as though this disciple was not to die: yet Jesus had not said to him, That he shall not die; but, If I will that he abide till I come, what is that to thee?

And there are also many other things which Jesus did, the which, if every particular was written, I am of opinion that the world itself would not be capable of retaining the books which should be written. Amen.

until that day, when having given a charge to his apostles through the Holy Ghost, whom he had chosen, he was taken up:

And as he was speaking these things, while they were looking upon him, he was taken up; and a cloud enveloping him hid him from their eyes.

And as they looked up earnestly into the heaven, while he was passing, behold, two men stood by them in white apparel;

And in those days arose Peter in the midst of the disciples, and said, (there was a number of persons together, about an hundred and twenty,)

Men and brethren, it must needs be that this scripture should be fulfilled, which the Holy Ghost delivered before by the mouth of David concerning Judas, who was the conductor of those who seized on Jesus.

For he was reckoned of our number, and had obtained an appointment to this ministry.

And it was a fact known to all who dwelt at Jerusalem; so that this field is called in their own dialect, Aceldama, that is, The field of blood.

beginning from his baptism by John, until the day in which he was taken up from us, must there be chosen with us a witness of his resurrection, even one of these.

So they appointed two persons, Joseph called Barsabas, whose sirname was Justus, and Matthias.

And they drew lots for them and the lot fell to Matthias and he was by unanimous suffrage numbered with the eleven apostles.

SO when the day of Pentecost was fully come, they were all with unanimity assembled together.

And there was an appearance to them of divided tongues, as of fire, and it rested on every one of them.

But this is what was spoken by the prophet Joel;

whom God hath raised up, having loosed the pains of death: forasmuch as it was not possible that he should be held thereby.

And on every soul there was an awe: and many miracles and signs were done by the apostles.

when a certain man who was lame from his mother's womb was carried, whom they laid daily at the gate of the temple called Beautiful, to ask alms of those who were entering into the temple;

and they took notice of him, that it was the same person who had sat for alms at the Beautiful gate of the temple: and they were filled with astonishment and amazed at what had happened to him.

But as the lame man that was cured held fast Peter and John, all the people ran together unto them into the portico called Solomon's, in vast amazement.

and he will send Jesus Christ, who was before preached unto you:

And they laid hands on them, and committed them to prison till the next day: for it was then evening.

But many of those who heard the word believed; and the number of the men was about five thousand.

if we are this day examined relative to the good deed done to the infirm man, by what means he was restored;

But seeing the man who was healed standing with them, they had not a word to reply in contradiction.

For the man was more than forty years of age, upon whom this miracle of healing was performed.

And while they were praying, the place in which they were assembled was shaken; and they were all filled with the Holy Ghost, and they spake the word of God with boldness.

And in the multitude of those that believed there was one heart and soul: and not one person said, that any part of his substance was his peculiar property; but all things were in common among them.

And with great power bore the apostles witness of the resurrection of the Lord Jesus: and great grace was upon them all.

Neither was there any person in want among them: for as many as were possessors of fields or houses disposed of them, and brought the prices of the things sold,

and laid them at the apostles' feet: and a distribution was made to every one according as he had need.

And Joses, who was surnamed Barnabas by the apostles, (which is, being interpreted, A son of consolation,) a Levite, a Cyprian by birth,

it remained unsold, was it not vested in thee? and when sold, was it not in thine own power? why then hast thou determined in thine heart to do this deed? thou hast not lied unto men, but unto God.

Insomuch that they carried out into the streets the sick, and laid them on beds and couches, that when Peter was coming by, if but even his shadow might pass over some of them.

Then arose the high-priest, and all those who were connected with him, (which was the sect of the Sadducees,) and were filled with zeal,

For before these days arose Theudas, saying that he himself was a singular personage: to whom a number of men, about four hundred, attached themselves: who was taken off; and as many as obeyed him, were dispersed, and came to nothing.

And this saying was very agreeable to all the multitude: and they elected Stephen, a man full of faith and of the Holy Ghost, and Philip, and Prochorus, and Nicanor, and Timon, and Parmenas, and Nicholas a proselyte a man of Antioch:

And the word of God increased: and the number of the disciples in Jerusalem was multiplied greatly; and a vast body of the priests were obedient to the faith.

He replied, Men, brethren, and fathers, hear me: The God of glory appeared to our father Abraham, when he was in Mesopotamia, before he dwelt in Charran,

Then he went out from the country of the Chaldeans, and, dwelt in Charran: and from thence, after his father was dead, God removed him as a sojourner into this very country, in which we now dwell.

And the patriarchs, envious, sold Joseph into Egypt: yet God was with him,

And the second time Joseph was made known unto his brethren; and Joseph's family was made known unto Pharaoh.

At which time Moses was born, and was endued with singular beauty from God, who was brought up three months in the house of his father:

and when he was exposed, Pharaoh's daughter took him home, and brought him up for herself, as a son.

And Moses was educated in all the wisdom of Egypt, and was mighty in words and actions.

Then fled Moses at this saying, and was a sojourner in the land of Midian, where he begat two sons.

But when Moses saw it, he marvelled at the sight: and as he was drawing nearer to observe it, a voice from the Lord came to him,

This is he, who was with the church in the wilderness with the angel who spake to him in the mount Sinai, and with our fathers: who received the oracles of life to give unto us:

The tabernacle of the testimony was with our fathers in the wilderness, as he that spake to Moses commanded, that he should make it according to the model which he had seen.
